The result of the debate was merge with Super Mario Sunshine. Dmcdevit·t 05:53, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
Minor/insignificant characters in fiction (recent votes/discussions, such as the Pokemon one, have held this to include computer and video games) should not have their own pages (any valid information should be on the game's page) Cynical 16:14, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with appropriate Mario articles. Hamster Sandwich 16:41, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, no point merging. Kappa 22:06, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually there is at least one good reason to merge this with Mario, namely, if a user is looking for a character in a Mario game, they would find the character there, instead of having to search around for it (presuming they don't know the exact name of the character). This makes for an easier and more efficient source. To have a separate article on for instance "Noki" would mean that whoever is looking for information would have to know exactly what it was they are searching for. If the "Noki" is already mentioned in a Mario article, then this article is redundant and should be deleted. Hamster Sandwich 22:41, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merging an article of this size is fairly harmless, but it's fancruft, editors have more important things to do with their time than merging it (or voting on it). Kappa 23:38, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Response to Kappa If there is no point in merging it, then it should be deleted. Unless you are seriously suggesting that it's a valid article as it stands. Cynical 11:19, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure what you mean by "valid article" but it's informative to mario fans and others curious about the game and there is no reason to delete it. Kappa 11:37, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Of course the article isn't valid as it stands - that's why it's got a stub notice tacked to the bottom of it. It is possible that this article can be expanded to warrant it's own article.--Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 11:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Expand. I am not aware of any articles of which a merge would be appropriate. I'm willing to change my vote to a merge if someone could point out an option other than the main Mario article. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 11:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Possibly Super Mario Sunshine.

- Great! Merge to Super Mario Sunshine if article is not expanded by the conclusion of this VFD. --11:44, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
- Possibly Super Mario Sunshine. Kappa 11:37, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. No one will ever look this up in a billion years by name. It will be more findable in Mario. Nandesuka 16:47, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
